Drupal: Storing data in the user profile
Posted on June 2nd, 2008 by Sacha Chua
If you want to store data in the user profile, here's an example of a quick and dirty way to do it:
global $user;
if ($user) {
$array = array('fieldname' => 'value_to_save');
user_save($user, $array);
}
Then access it with $user->fieldname. For more configurability, check out the Profile module.
Hello,
First of all congratulations on your blog!
You make me understand you I could load or save data in the user profile!
By the way… maybe you could help me:
I've recently installed Drupal 6.x and Privatemsg module but I can't see where to send msgs to users.
Thanks!

Follow up – to add data from hook_user, change the $edit array (second parameter).
Hi,
I need to store data in the data column of the user table.
How can i do this.
Narsing,
Use node_save() as in Sacha's example. It will automatically store the additional user data in data column.
